Thanks, but We're Set on Canned Mushrooms From Vietnam and China

This Week's Weird Bit of Spam

Sure, we all get odd bits of spam, whether it be from Nigerian finance ministers or the Italian lottery or clueless PR operatives who labor under the misguided belief that I'm ever going to open an e-mail with a subject line of "Press Release" or "Important Announcement."

But I will open an e-mail with a subject line that reads: "canned mushroom supplier from Vietnam and China." Why? Because ... well, what the hell? How could you not want to know what that's all about? Numerous folks here at Ad Age HQ have been getting this e-mail all week. Has anyone else or are we just special like that? The e-mail is after the jump. Who knows? Maybe this is the answer to the Chaos Scenario. Maybe importing canned vegetables and fruit from China is the best hope for the media industry.
